Two Weeks Of Bonn Climate Talks End Deadlocked - Progress At Bali Talks Now Appear Unlikely

Two weeks of United Nations talks in the German city of Bonn have ended with little progress on drafting a plan for cutting carbon dioxide emissions after 2012, when the Kyoto Protocol expires.

The talks were aimed at paving the way for the climate summit taking place in Bali in December.

The top UN official on climate change, Yvo de Boer, said if talks did not begin this year, there could be a very negative impact on the whole concept of a market in carbon.

The omens are not good. At the German meeting, the US said they did not believe negotiations would begin in Indonesia. China and India are still unwilling to commit to limits on emissions that would hamper their economic growth.
